ANTA Kai 3 “Alchemist” Releases September 12th

Kyrie Irving’s return is getting closer, and ANTA already has another Kai 3 lined up for the start of the season. The next pair is called “Alchemist,” a colorway built around the way Irving can turn a broken play into something completely different.

Most of the shoe comes dressed in forest green, with teal worked into the support panels and a faint plaid pattern underneath. Metallic gold runs through the zig-zag side piece, while yellow and more gold show up along the midsole and outsole.

A small Tree of Life charm hangs from the upper lace area and gives the pair one of its more noticeable details. The green, teal, and gold combination also separates it from the “Magnetic Energy” Kai 3 that arrived in August.

The ANTA Kai 3 “Alchemist” releases September 12, 2026, through ANTA and select retailers for $135.

Stan Birch x Saucony Guide 7 “Stand Out” Debuts With Swappable Details

Stan Birch is teaming up with Saucony for his first official sneaker collaboration, bringing his work to the ProGrid Guide 7. Called “Stand Out,” the colorful pair was first shown during Paris Fashion Week in June before its wider release was confirmed for September.

Birch came into design through sneakers, spending years customizing pairs by hand before moving into clothing and other one-off pieces. He’s worked on roughly 2,000 shoes along the way and developed what he calls the “split method,” where existing panels and stitching are taken apart and worked back together differently. Some of that thinking makes its way onto the ProGrid Guide 7, though the changes here are more about materials, color, and smaller removable details.

Cream mesh covers most of the base, joined by an off-white grid overlay and a mix of burgundy, gold, green, pink, and mint. Suede wraps parts of the toe and heel, while nubuck and leather panels add more color around the upper. There’s a lot happening, but the softer shades help keep the different sections tied together.

One of the more unusual details is the removable Saucony logo along the side. A Velcro setup lets wearers switch between a metallic gold version and another finished with purple embroidery. Extra laces come with the shoe, while a Stan Birch x Saucony tag is stitched onto the tongue and “Stand Out” appears across the cream heel.

The collaboration also comes in its own co-branded box, finished with a dotted graphic and colors pulled from the sneaker.

The Stan Birch x Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 “Stand Out” releases September 10, 2026 through Saucony and select retailers worldwide.

Nike NBA Standard Issue Collection Brings Streetwear to All 30 Teams

NBA team gear is getting a broader refresh as Nike rolls out its new Standard Issue Collection for all 30 franchises. The clothing leans more into streetwear than traditional fan apparel, using roomier fits, oversized graphics, unusual logo placement, and different treatments of each team’s familiar branding.

Designs vary from team to team instead of using one template across the entire league. Some pieces cover large portions of the front or back with team logos and graphics, while others keep things much quieter. Hoodies, sweatshirts, T-shirts, and other apparel are included throughout the collection.

NBA players will also wear Standard Issue pieces during practices, warm-ups, and team travel. This will be the first time fans can buy the same versions being worn by players. Amen and Ausar Thompson, Ace Bailey, Scottie Barnes, AJ Dybantsa, and Jalen Johnson are among the players featured in the collection’s campaign.

More than 400 elite high school players and 100 NBA players provided feedback during development, along with all 30 NBA teams and basketball fans from around the world. Performance details remain part of the clothing through Dri-FIT, Aero-Fit, stretch materials, and Nike’s bouncy fleece. Braided drawcords, custom hardware, and woven labels are also used across select pieces.

Eight franchises are getting another addition later this fall with the introduction of Specter Edition uniforms. The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, and Sacramento Kings make up the first group.

The Nike NBA Standard Issue Collection releases in two waves on September 15th and October 12, 2026, through Nike, the NBA Store, and select retailers. Specter Edition uniforms and matching apparel will follow later this fall.

Air Jordan 10 “Knicks” Returns Fall 2027

Jordan Brand is bringing the Air Jordan 10 “Knicks” back in Fall 2027, marking the first retro release for the original 1995 colorway. The New York pair was part of the Air Jordan 10 City Series and remains the only original release from that group that has never made a comeback.

The City Series arrived in 1995 with pairs tied to Chicago, Sacramento, Seattle, New York, and Orlando. Although the Air Jordan 10 debuted a year earlier, these city-inspired releases became an important part of the model’s early run and helped give each version its own identity.

Michael Jordan also wore the Air Jordan 10 during his return to the NBA in the 1994-95 season. One of his biggest games from that stretch came at Madison Square Garden, where he dropped 55 points against the Knicks while wearing No. 45.

For 2027, the Air Jordan 10 “Knicks” is expected to stay close to the original pair. White leather covers most of the upper, while Black appears around the ankle, eyestays, tongue, midsole, and heel Jumpman. Blue is used on the lining and parts of the outsole, with Orange finishing the Jumpman underneath.

Air Jordan 10 Knicks 2027 Release Date

The Air Jordan 10 “Knicks” is expected to release in Fall 2027 through Jordan Brand retailers and Nike SNKRS. Adult pairs will retail for $215.

Air Jordan 14 “Blue Ferrari” Releases Fall 2027

Jordan Brand has another Air Jordan 14 release planned for 2027, and the latest pair brings a new color to the Ferrari theme. Dubbed the “Blue Ferrari,” the shoe takes the idea behind the original red version and gives it a Blue suede upper instead.

The first Air Jordan 14 “Ferrari” released in 2014 before returning again in 2025. This new version follows a similar layout, with Blue suede covering most of the upper and Yellow used on the Ferrari-style shield, tongue details, and branding. Black fills in the tongue, laces, lining, midsole, and carbon fiber sections.

Silver is expected on the midfoot shank plate, while the outsole stays mostly Black with Blue and Yellow accents worked into the bottom. The “Blue Ferrari” will be one of several Air Jordan 14 releases coming in 2027, with Jordan Brand planning both returning colorways and new pairs.

Air Jordan 14 Blue Ferrari Release Date

The Air Jordan 14 “Blue Ferrari” will release in Fall 2027 through select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike SNKRS. Adult pairs will retail for $215.

Air Jordan 4 “Fire Red” Returns Fall 2027

Jordan Brand is bringing the Air Jordan 4 “Fire Red” back in Fall 2027, giving one of the model’s original 1989 colorways another run. The last release came in 2020, and this upcoming pair is expected to keep the Nike Air branding on the heel.

Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the “Fire Red” was part of the first Air Jordan 4 lineup alongside the “White Cement,” “Black Cement,” and “Military Blue.” The colorway has returned a few times since then, with each retro making small changes to the shape, branding, or overall finish.

The 2006 version added Mars Blackmon branding on the heel, while the 2012 pair switched over to a Jumpman. Nike Air returned in 2020, along with a shape that moved closer to the original 1989 build.

For 2027, the shoe is expected to come back in the familiar White, Black, Tech Grey, and Fire Red color scheme. White leather covers most of the upper, while Black appears on the wings, mesh sections, heel, and parts of the midsole. Fire Red fills in the eyelets, lining, tongue branding, midsole, and heel logo.

One of the bigger updates should be the shape, as Jordan Brand is reportedly using its newer original-inspired Air Jordan 4 construction. That should bring the profile closer to the early pairs than some of the older retros.

Air Jordan 4 Fire Red 2027 Release Date

The Air Jordan 4 “Fire Red” is expected to release in Fall 2027 in full-family sizing. Adult pairs will retail for $230.

Air Jordan 10 OG “Sacramento” 2026 First Look

Jordan Brand is bringing back the Air Jordan 10 “Sacramento” for Holiday 2026, marking the first retro release of the original 1995 City Pack colorway. The pair was recently shown during a press preview in New York, giving us a clear look at how closely this version follows the original.

The “Sacramento” colorway comes from an interesting point in Jordan Brand history, since Michael Jordan was away from basketball when the Air Jordan 10 was created. Tinker Hatfield treated the model like a tribute to Jordan’s career, listing several of his accomplishments across the outsole. With MJ unavailable to lead the launch, Jordan Brand introduced a City Pack tied to teams and cities around the league, including Sacramento, New York, Seattle, Orlando, and Chicago.

For 2026, the shoe stays very close to the 1995 pair. Tumbled Black leather covers most of the upper, while smoother overlays break up the build around the sides. Dark Concord purple appears on the lining and outsole, connecting the colorway back to the Sacramento Kings, while a White Jumpman on the heel adds contrast.

The original pair has always been one of the harder City Pack releases to come across. Sacramento also has a long Jordan connection through players like Mitch Richmond and later Mike Bibby, although neither player’s PE history is directly tied to this exact colorway.

Air Jordan 10 Sacramento 2026 Release Date

The Air Jordan 10 OG “Sacramento” releases December 5, 2026 through Jordan Brand retailers and Nike SNKRS. Men’s and grade school sizing will be available, with adult pairs priced at $215.

Air Jordan 12 “Fireside” First Look

Jordan Brand has another holiday release lined up for late 2026 with the Air Jordan 12 “Fireside.” The pair was first rumored under the “Eggnog” nickname, but a private preview in New York gave us an early look at the actual shoe ahead of its fall release.

The cream and brown color scheme from the early reports is still there, although the final blocking is a little different from the first mockups. Cream takes over most of the upper, while darker brown wraps the mudguard and lower section. A white pull tab, contrasting midfoot plate, metallic brown eyelets, and matching accents finish out the design.

The colors do bring the 2024 SoleFly x Air Jordan 12 to mind, mainly because of the similar mix of cream and brown. Even so, the lighter upper and different placement of the darker shades help separate this pair from that release.

Air Jordan 12 Fireside Release Date

The Air Jordan 12 “Fireside” releases October 17, 2026 in full family sizing. Adult pairs will retail for $215 through Jordan Brand retailers and Nike SNKRS.

Denim Tears x adidas Superstar 82 and Stan Smith 80 Coming November 2026

Denim Tears is getting its first adidas collaboration later this year, with the Superstar 82 and Stan Smith 80 both expected to release as part of the brand’s Fall/Winter 2026 plans. The two pairs are currently lined up for November, marking the start of Tremaine Emory’s partnership with adidas Originals.

Emory founded Denim Tears in 2019, building the label around Black American histry, the African Diaspora, and the stories tied to both. The Cotton Wreath graphic became the clearest symbol of that approach, and over the years the brand has worked with Levi’s, Stüssy, Our Legacy, Corteiz, and several other names across fashion and streetwear.

This also won’t be Emory’s first time working on footwear. Denim Tears previously teamed up with Converse on a Chuck 70 project connected to Marcus Garvey and Pan-African colors, while Emory released two ASICS GEL-MC Plus colorways in 2021 through the ASICS Collective.

The Superstar 82 and Stan Smith 80 are both expected to come in a Multicolor, Cream White, and Easy Yellow colorway. We still haven’t seen the shoes yet, so there’s no real read on the materials, graphics, or how Denim Tears will put its stamp on either pair.

The Denim Tears x adidas Superstar 82 and Stan Smith 80 are expected to release in November 2026. Exact release dates and pricing have yet to be announced.

iPhone 18 Pro Release Date, Price, Colors and New Features

Apple’s new iPhone lineup includes the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Duo, the company’s first foldable phone.

The iPhone Duo opens to a 7.6-inch Super Retina display, giving users considerably more screen space than the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Fold it closed and a 5.4-inch outer display handles the usual calls, messages, apps, and other everyday tasks without needing to open the phone.

Apple built the foldable around a titanium frame with added carbon-fiber support around the hinge and display. The screen itself uses a multi-layer laminated design with a stiff polymer layer for added scratch resistance, while the hinge was developed to help cut down on the visible crease that has become common on foldable phones.

The front camera sits underneath the display instead of using the familiar cutout found on recent iPhones. That change means Face ID is gone on the Duo, with Touch ID returning through the side button instead. Apple Watch can also be used to unlock the phone. Around back, Apple uses a pair of 48MP Fusion cameras.

Having two usable displays also changes how multitasking works on the iPhone. Two apps can run next to each other, and users can open more than one instance of the same app. Partially folding the device also causes content to move away from the hinge area so it remains easier to see and use.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max stick with a more familiar design while bringing updates to battery life, charging, and storage. Both models now start with 256GB, with pricing set at $1,199 for the iPhone 18 Pro and $1,299 for the larger Pro Max.

Apple rates the iPhone 18 Pro for up to 36 hours of video playback, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max reaches up to 45 hours. Faster charging can bring either model to around 50 percent in 15 minutes.

Black, Glacier, Burgundy, and Silver make up the iPhone 18 Pro color lineup. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max release September 18, starting at $1,199 and $1,299. The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999, with preorders opening October 16 ahead of its October 23 release.

Nike Air Bakin “Varsity Royal” Releases November 12th

Nike is bringing back a nostalgic late-’90s basketball sneaker as the Nike Air Bakin is rebooted in its original “Varsity Royal” colorway. Last seen back in 2008, the blue and black color scheme closely resembles the design first released almost thirty years ago.

Black mesh is featured on an upper that’s split by panels of blue and white “Varsity Royal” coloring. Long cutouts divide the royal blue sections to reveal black mesh underneath. Black overlays are placed over the toe, mudguard, and heel while grey laces and thin white piping separate the darker colors. White swooshes are placed laterally near the ankle and on the midsole while embroidered blue Nike Air logo complete the heel. The shoe features a black rubber outsole with blue accents down the center.

The Nike Air Bakin was initially released back in 1997 and was worn by multiple NBA players throughout the late-’90s. Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Kevin Garnett were just a few names that wore the unique silhouette during their careers.

Originally, the shoe came with a flame-embroidered heel spell out “AIR.” However, the logo was later removed due to controversy over claims that it spelled “Allah” in Arabic. Later, different versions of the shoe swapped out the original branding for Nike’s standard Air logo, which you’ll find on this new release.

Nike Air Bakin Varsity Royal 2026 Release Date

The Nike Air Bakin “Varsity Royal” arrives November 12, 2026, with a $170 retail price. Availability will be through Nike and select retailers. See retailer pics below.

Jordan Tatum 5 “Sunrise” Releases October 15th

The Jordan Tatum 5 “Sunrise” gives Jayson Tatum’s fifth signature shoe a darker purple base with pink worked in across the upper, loosely pulling from the colors of the sky at daybreak. The model also introduces a forefoot lockdown strap and Air Zoom cushioning, two of the bigger changes coming to the Tatum line this time around.

A deep Concord-style purple covers most of the shoe, with brighter pink showing up near the bottom of the side panels and underneath the strap. The midfoot support piece comes in a much lighter pink, which breaks up the darker upper and gives the colorway most of its sunrise feel.

The branding is kept simple. Tatum’s JT logo sits on the tongue, while a Jumpman appears across the forefoot strap. More than just a visual change, that strap also gives the Tatum 5 a noticeably different shape from the earlier models.

The Jordan Tatum 5 “Sunrise” releases October 15, 2026, through Nike.com and Jordan Brand retailers. Adult pairs will retail for $125, with grade school sizing priced at $100.

Larry June x adidas Adistar Control 5 “Watermelon Smoothie” Releases September 12th

Larry June is finally bringing one of his adidas collaborations to the public, and the Adistar Control 5 is getting a “Watermelon Smoothie” colorway that fits right in with his usual style.

The Bay Area rapper has been connected to the Adistar Control 5 since signing with adidas, showing up in some of the model’s early campaign work before teasing his own versions. One citrus-inspired pair stayed limited to friends and family, so this is the first one fans will actually have a shot at buying.

The “Watermelon Smoothie” pair uses a white upper that fades into red, with green and yellow details worked into the laces, branding, and sole. The lower eyelet panels are also mismatched, using different grey shades on each side.

Larry June kept the rollout on theme too. For the campaign, he shows up making a watermelon smoothie with a mix of unexpected kitchen tools, which gives the release a little more personality without overdoing it.

The Larry June x adidas Adistar Control 5 “Watermelon Smoothie” releases through a Larry June raffle on September 9, 2026, open from 9 AM to 3 PM PST. A wider global release follows September 12 through adidas. Check out the official photos below.

SZA x Vans VANSZA Collection Debuts October 2026

SZA is bringing her VANSZA partnership with Vans to the public after spending some time making one-off pairs for herself. The first two collections are being previewed at a pop-up at 260 Bowery in New York City on September 10 and 11, with the footwear and clothing displayed throughout a fall-themed space filled with trees, fallen leaves, and other outdoor details.

The first VANSZA drop centers around two familiar Vans models that SZA has put her own spin on. A black-and-white Knu Skool Mule takes the bulkier skate shoe and turns it into a slip-on, while the Authentic goes in a completely different direction with a worn-in finish and fish graphics across the upper. Its heel can also be folded down, a detail based on SZA regularly stepping on the backs of her own shoes.

Things get more experimental with the second collection in 2027, led by a new model called the LX Tabi Hiker. The low-top outdoor shoe uses a split-toe shape with cable laces, no traditional tongue, and a rugged rubber sole that climbs partway up the sides. So far, pairs have surfaced in blue, orange and green, brown and green, and black with red accents.

The Knu Skool comes back for the second drop covered in RealTree-style camouflage, while the clothing side pulls heavily from workwear and pieces already found in SZA’s wardrobe. That includes the Trompe L’Oeil fleece set, graphic hoodies, denim jackets, pants, socks, flame-covered hats, and more.

The first SZA x Vans VANSZA collection releases October 22, 2026 with the Authentic and Knu Skool Mule. The second drop arrives April 8, 2027, highlighted by the new LX Tabi Hiker and camo Knu Skool.

Up There Athletics x adidas Evo SL ATR Releases September 17th

The adidas Adizero Evo SL has quickly cemented its status as a popular running shoe for the brand, and Up There Athletics has wisely leveraged that popularity for their new version. For their take, the Australian retailer opted for the more robust Evo SL ATR and embraced an outdoor aesthetic that suits the shoe quite well.

Made up mostly of a brown ripstop upper, grey accents around the reinforced toe and through portions of the midsole. Of course, black Three Stripes branding is placed throughout to tone down the overall appearance of the upper. While these colors lean muted, they work well together.

Everything mentioned above is offset by bright green trim found on the laces and heel. As you may have guessed, this ATR edition of the shoe comes with a more aggressive outsole, fitted with deeper treading to grip dirt paths.

The Up There Athletics x adidas Adizero Evo SL ATR will release September 17, 2026 via Up There’s online store and retail location. No wider adidas release has been announced yet.

Nike ACG Juniper Introduces a More Affordable ACG Option

Nike continues to build out its ACG lineup with more options for the outdoors, and the upcoming ACG Juniper gives the category a more affordable model. While some of the newer ACG footwear pushes well past the $200 range, the Juniper comes in at $110 while still carrying several of the performance features Nike has been adding to the line.

The first look shows a synthetic upper made with different textures and densities, along with a thick molded sole that gives the shoe the familiar ACG look. Underfoot, Nike uses its new “GOATEK” technology, which recently appeared on the ACG Picklejus. Nike says the setup provides 45% better traction on wet surfaces and 25% more abrasion resistance compared to its previous designs.

The Nike ACG Juniper currently has a release date set for April 15, 2027. Available in men’s and women’s sizing, the retail price tag is set at $110.
